We divide 48381952 by 872
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 48381952.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 872

Step 2:
872 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 483 / 872

Advancing to step 3:
872 goes into 483 0 times with a remainder of 483.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 483 leaves us with 483.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 483 and continue: 4838 / 872

Advancing to step 4:
4838 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 478.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4360 from 4838, we get 478.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 478 and continue with: 4781 / 872

Advancing to step 5:
4781 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 421.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 4360 from 4781 and we're left with 421.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 421, then carry on: 4219 / 872

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 4219 by 872, we get 4 and a remainder of 731.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 554.0
If we take 3488 away from 4219, we end up with 731.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 731, then repeat: 7315 / 872

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 7315 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 339.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5548.0
Subtract 6976 from 7315 to get 339.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 339, then carry on: 3392 / 872

Going ahead to step 8:
3392 divided by 872 is 3 with a remainder of 776.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55483.0
Subtract 2616 from 3392 to get 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 7760 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 784.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55483.8
Deduct 6976 from 7760 and we're left with 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
7840 divided by 872 is 8 with a remainder of 864.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55483.88
If we subtract 6976 from 7840, we get 864.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55483.88 with a remaining 0.864.
